Our Story

Covey Rise Lodging | Vacations | Getaway’s | Executive Lodging

It was in the spirit of the South Louisiana lifestyle that we formed Covey Rise Lodge. We wanted a place for people to gather and appreciate the great outdoors as it is influenced by the treasures that South Louisiana has to offer. The essence of our great state is woven into the fabric of Covey Rise and it shines through everything we do whether it be the food we serve, the joyful events we host, or the quality of our hunting.

Covey Rise Lodge, which began operations in 1999, is located near Husser, LA (about 25 miles northwest of Covington, LA) placing it within an easy drive from the major metropolitan areas of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Our facilities are adjacent to Covey Rise Farms, which provides produce for our professionally-trained chefs, and Chappapeela Retreat, which provides luxury cabins for our rental program. All hunts occur on properties specifically maintained to enhance the overall experience with professional guides and dogs.

The Lodge provides the space not only for overnight accommodations, but also a wide range of options for dining, meetings and other events.

Our shooting facilities include skeet, 5 stand and sporting clays. The Gun Club Room & Deck will provide space for members to meet and socialize. Individual or group shooting lessons are available from our sponsored professional instructor.

The Covey Rise Lodge is the centerpiece of our facilities. It has six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Each bedroom has a double bed with a single or two single beds for a maximum of 12 guests. Our main dining room and den is decked out to the max with rustic charm and luxurious comfortability. It is the perfect setting for the members of your company retreat or you and your best friends to have cocktails and wine while enjoying each other’s company. The cost/person/night is $190 and includes 3 meals, typically dinner the day of arrival and breakfast and lunch the following day. A minimum of 6 is required to reserve the Lodge.

Our quail hunts are $315/person with a 2 person minimum. Cost includes professional guide and dogs with transportation to the fields in our vehicles. Both morning and afternoon hunts are offered with morning hunts beginning at 9 a.m. and afternoon hunts beginning at 2 p.m. A minimum of 14 shooting opportunities per hunter is guaranteed. For convenience, shells can be purchased, and we offer the option of purchasing cleaned birds after the hunt. We also offer riding hunts in which hunters are able to cover more area by vehicle and reduces the amount of walking necessary. A riding hunt is ideal for older hunters or anyone who would just prefer to see more scenery.

Imagine relaxing by an outdoor fireplace after a long day of team building activities. Your group has dined on an exquisite meal and far away from the city lights, the stars are shining bright above. This is the type of experience you get when you stay at Covey Rise. We offer two basic options for overnight accommodations at either our Lodge or Cabins.

Meetings and Special Events

For corporate groups that use Covey Rise for either customer entertaining or company meetings, a combination of cabins and the Lodge is used to accommodate up to 45 guests with meals provided in the Lodge. This type of activity needs to be planned in advance and is priced according to the specifications of the corporate planner.
